From Bacula, Backup Module for Kubernetes Clusters

Bacula Systems SA announced its backup module for Kubernetes clusters.

This announcement makes Bacula Enterprise ant enterprise backup and recovery software to offer an automated and integrated backup of Kubernetes, and follows on from the company’s announcement earlier this year of full backup and recovery for Docker containers and external volumes.

“From Containers to Orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes, DevOps and IT departments urgently need enterprise-grade backup and restore solutions for containerized environments. To enable the robust deployment of containerized applications Bacula Systems now adds the missing piece – a fully operational, integrated backup solution. Bacula is the first to market with its fully automated solution for Kubernetes and it brings a variety of exciting opportunities to tighten the relationship between software development and operational IT. This equates to faster deployment, lowered production risks, saved time, saved money, and more power to organizations already exploiting containers in their business,” said Frank Barker, CEO, Bacula.

As part of our leadership in the breadth and depth of virtual and container environments we support, expect to see further ongoing announcements coming soon.” said Aristide Caraccio, VP, sales and marketing, Bacula.

Benefits of Bacula’s integrated Kubernetes module include:

• Free of charge with Bronze level subscriptions and above

• Safeguarding states of Kubernetes clusters

• Enabling fast and efficient redeployment of a cluster’s resources

• Saving amended configurations for complete security, and restoring to exact same state.
